SolidAT ultrasonic level sensors were deployed as part of early warning water level solution in Munster, Indiana USA. The overall solution, including cellular based reports and control room software was provided by our partner ommyx. ommyx's solution offers town officials with the ability to check river level conveniently via a web site. Alerts are disseminated when the river reaches a warning level or a critical level.

SolidAT's SmartScan50 Ultrasonic level sensor was selected for the project. SmartScan50 is a highly stable level sensor, with a range of 12 meters which is fit for outdoor operations. SmartScan50 is a two part system, allowing separation between the transducer and the control unit. Compact transducers were installed on bridges above the river. Control units were located up to 100 meters away from the bridge at a sheltered location together with ommyx's GSM transmitter and power supply. SmartScan50 supports digital communication (ModBus RTU) for communicating with the GSM transmitter.

A recently new feature of SmartScan50 provides alerts when specific conditions exist such as rapid change in the target level.

The Munster project is yet another example of our products deployed for flood alerts and reservoir management. Our products are now installed all the way from India to Indiana.
